I think that at the beginning of the war, Germany had the best pilots due to the fact that a lot of the pilots already had experience from the Spanish civil war. In the middle of the war, when America entered, production was slow and America lacked trained pilots or a trained military for that matter. Underestimated by the Germans, American military might and production took off and never looked back. American airplane production grew to 1 plane made every four minutes. The British pilots recieved their baptism of fire during the Battle of Britain. You can come to the conclusion that allied pilots were better towards the end of the war.

The german pilot by himself was very skilled despite what I said previously. The skill and audacity of the German pilot was overshadowed by the failure of the Luftwaffe and the production of the allies.
